Pros

Still have a paycheck. They still have some customers however COX is getting most of them back residential and business. A few good Supervisors and Field Techs are still there.

Cons

Poor management within residential and business operations. Reason they let most of their seasoned customer service professionals go during a the merger with Level 3. OUCH! Some walked out the door without notice same day. Most of the employees still there say it's worse than ever before. Promoting current Field Techs into OPS management that have no business managing people because they could never manage their own workload and or provide customer service just arguing with their previous supervisor / manager Im going home you can't force me to work, no one is forcing you just need finish the task your currently working so the customer has service today, I feel sick Im going home Union Field Tech. Accountability for managers that do not meet their goals a complete joke within business operations just ask a few of their business customers getting slimmer by the day. The business sales team can never be trusted Lucky Dragon was a perfect example total sales masterminds that are incompetent and hostile. Even when you try to save them from themselves daily. Unifying Principles are a total joke in NEVADA, I cannot speak to other states.

Pros

Work from home (only pro for working at this company)

Cons

- Zero chance of advancement or opportunity - Zero raises in over (at least) 3years - Expect to work hard and receive zero compensation - High expectations but zero responsibily taken at the senior/political level: Expectations have raised but nothing has been done in over 6-12 months to help fix the same issues at hand. - The problems and issues only continue to increase. -The company will implement new systems causing multiple issues throughout the entire company and still expect the same revenue to be brought in. When it’s not, they fail to pay attention or listen to those working at the customer level about where the issues are or help provide solutions to fix them. - No workflow: majority of the company uses Outlook for the workflow system because due dates are so far behind they become irrelevant. - Expect to always have angry customers because the company cannot meet customer expectations or due dates listed within internal systems. - Expect to chase teams/personnel to close past due tasks because they do not work off due dates. - Expect teams to hide behind DL Groups: when things go wrong, no one claims responsibility. - Expect to fix everyone else’s mistakes: internal teams do not take responsibility for their own errors and expect others to fix them.
